Have Yourself a Chippy Little Christmas

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

I love chiptunes. I also love Christmas time, and even Christmas carols (after the 1st of December, of course). So this is my annual reminder that there are some excellent chiptune re-imaginings of classic Christmas songs. I actually like these albums.

So, pop these on and chip out!

Album art for The 8bits of Christmas

The 8bits of Christmas - The 8bitpeoples (FREE)

8-bit Christmas - Rush Coil

8-bit Christmas - Rush Coil - USD $3.00 +

8-Bit Jesus – Doctor Octoroc

8-Bit Jesus – Doctor Octoroc - USD $9.99

And if that’s not enough ghost chips of  Christmas present for you, @hubs curates a exhaustive list of even more Chiptune Christmas, a lot of which is free too. Wow.

And when your family tells you to turn it off, then turn on Mariah’s two albums. Cause Mariah is retro enough by now :)

Peace to you and yours this Christmas!

Love Games? Get Humble Indie Bundle 4 NOW.

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011


No, seriously. Best bundle of software this side of 2012.

  • Jamestown
  • Bit.Trip Runner
  • Super Meat Boy
  • Shank
  • NightSky HD

Pay more than the current average to get Gratuitous Space Battles and Cave Story+!

Cave Story+ and Super Meat Boy are seriously good games, and each on their own is worth the price of admission. And you get to decide that price! I’m not kidding. Go buy these great video games NOW, even if you don’t have time to play them right now. Support some really good charities while you do.

UPDATE: five extra games were added this morning: VVVVVV, And Yet It Moves, Hammerfight, Crayon Physics Deluxe, and Cogs. And every game in the bundle also now comes with its soundtrack for you to add to your music collection. Only seven days left!
